Emperor Zhu and his Ming Dynasty court in Tianjin are undoubtedly the focus of attention from all forces in Yanyun Land.
This is especially true for the Eight Banners forces that split into two factions in the capital.
In the Ming Dynasty, several regiments almost controlled the main roads around the capital, trapping hundreds of thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners behind the capital.
No matter whether it is the Seventeenth or the Fifteenth, there is actually no possibility for negotiation.
in history.
The millions of bannermen in the capital were actually the "high pills" of the Qing court.
As long as the capital is captured.
Basically, it held the lifeblood of the Qing court.
Many dynasties in history have lost their capitals.
The Tang Dynasty also lost Chang'an six times.
But there has never been a situation like the Qing court, which completely surrendered after losing the capital - the Eight-Nation Allied Forces only occupied the capital with a small number of troops, and the Qing court immediately surrendered unconditionally.
Why?
It's not because the Qing Dynasty's nationalities have a very high urbanization rate and their residences are also quite concentrated - most of them live in the capital.
As long as they occupy the capital, they can control the Bai Lai Wan Banner people.
Then the Qing court had basically no possibility of negotiating terms.
The current situation is similar to that of later generations.
Although Qianlong transferred some of his bannermen out of the customs.
But the majority remain in the capital.
So now the lives of the Manchurian bannermen are all in the hands of Ming Dynasty.
No matter whether it is the 17th or 15th person in the capital.
In fact, everyone knows that if they want a way out, they can only come to Tianjin to meet the Emperor of Heaven.
in this world.
Someone who can give them a way out.
There is only Emperor Zhu in Tianjin.
So not only did the seventeenth elder brother Yonglin come in person, but the fifteenth elder brother also asked He Shen and Liu Yong to come and test Emperor Zhu's tone.
So when Yonglin, Heshen and Liu Yong appeared in front of Emperor Zhu.
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
The two sides are theoretically hostile.
But now I have come to Tianjin for the same goal
"Are you He Shen?"
Zhu Daohua looked at He Shen curiously.
Historical celebrities.
It's just that the He Shen in front of him is not fat at all, nor happy at all.
On the contrary, he is very tall, looks very strong, and has a somewhat elegant temperament.
If it were put to this day, he would be qualified to work in the entertainment industry, and he would even be destined to be the protagonist - with this appearance, he is very upright at first glance!
But then again.
Among the high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty, not many of them were ugly.
Those who are ugly probably won’t get Jinshi.
"The slave foreign minister is Heshen."
He Shen hurried forward and knelt on the ground to reply.
"Get up and talk." Zhu Daohua asked someone to bring a chair, and the three of them only dared to sit on one-third of the seats, looking very restrained.
"I heard that your family is very rich?"
Emperor Zhu seemed very interested in He Shen.
"Well, the foreign minister's family does have some wealth."
Cold sweat broke out on Heshen's forehead.
what happened?
Never heard that Emperor Zhu was greedy for money?
And when it comes to money, who in the world doesn't know that Emperor Zhu is the greatest God of Wealth, with the ability to amass wealth with the Midas touch.
How can I compare with myself?
"I heard that your family is richer than the Qing Dynasty."
Emperor Zhu smiled.
"How is this possible?" He Shen couldn't help but want to kneel down.
Why does Emperor Zhu always talk about money?
Are you going to ransack your home?
Seeing He Shen's trembling look, Emperor Zhu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking for your family's money, I'm just curious."
Of course He Shen's family is rich.
The Qing Dynasty was extremely corrupt.
However, Emperor Zhu did not intend to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan. He Shen was rich, but now the Ming Dynasty has entered the Ming Yuan paper currency era. Although gold and silver are good, they are not worth Emperor Zhu's own sign.
Anyway, He Shen's money will eventually be converted into Ming Yuan for use.
Seventeenth-year-old Yonglin looked at Heshen and snorted in his heart: The Qing Dynasty was ruined by greedy corruption like you!
Zhu Daohua looked at these three people and said, "I know your purpose of coming. It's just to give millions of bannermen a way to survive!"
"Of course there is a way to survive, but I also have conditions!"
"Your Majesty, I wonder what your conditions are?" He Shen asked.
"First, since there are two lords of the Qing Dynasty in the capital, I don't think there is anything to argue about. One will be the obedient king and the other will be the docile king."
"Second, Tsarist Russia coveted Vladivostok a few days ago and was repulsed. However, since the war has begun, it cannot be ended as they want. I want to build a command department for the westward marching camp and use the Eight Banners and Mongolian troops to attack Nomad in the West, conquer Tsarist Russia! Yonglin, are you willing to be the general who conquers the West?"
Zhu Daohua looked at Aixinjueluo Yonglin and asked.
How dare Yonglin say no? He immediately handed over his hand: "I do."
Zhu Daohua nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, since you are willing, we can talk about the next thing."
"The third point is the treatment of the Eight Banners. First of all, the Eight Banners can no longer be called the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners Associations have been changed to thousand households, and ten thousand households constitute one guard. According to the current population of the Eight Banners, there should be about ten guards. That counts as ten guards. In addition, the Manchu bannermen must all change their surnames to Han surnames and abide by Ming etiquette. In addition, these guards are only in charge of the people and not the army. The main military affairs are to conquer the westward expedition to the capital, and the capital temporarily recruits 30,000 Manchu and Mongolian warriors as soldiers. , build six dragoon brigades. The Dusi should follow the standards of the Ming army, set up a Dusi staff, and staff at all levels. Dusi officers must attend the Army and Navy Officers Academy before they can serve. The Dusi is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and must obey the Generalissimo According to government orders, the promotion of staff officers and officers in various ministries are subject to restraint!"
Zhu Daohua started to talk about the key points.
The first is to split the Eight Banners into ten guards, use the guards to manage the people, and use the capital to manage the military, and implement a system of separation of military and civilians.
But at the same time, the Dusi and the Guards were integrated. The Dusi of the Expedition to the West was incorporated into the Ming army's combat sequence and controlled the entire army through the staff system to achieve control over the Manchu and Mongolian tribes. The guards had to support the Dusi's food, grass and troops, while the Ming court It only needs to provide weapons and ammunition to control a military and political system with tens of thousands of troops and millions of people at a very low cost, and use this military and political system as the mainstay to carry out "war revenge" against Tsarist Russia.
Of course, the cost of a war against Tsarist Russia must be considered.
After all, it's not worth paying a huge price for a piece of crappy land.
After Zhu Daohua finished speaking.
The three of them couldn't help but fell silent.
Emperor Zhu smiled slightly: "Of course, after setting up guards and joining the capital, the Manchu and Mongolian tribes are also my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. The children of hereditary officials such as the commanders of the guards and the commanders of Qianhu are required to attend Beidu Public School. , you can participate in the imperial examinations, join the army as an official in the imperial court, and if other officers in the capital department have made meritorious service, they can also be transferred to the various armies of the Ming Dynasty as generals."
This is to provide a channel for the elites of the Manchu and Mongolian tribes to rise.
With this rising channel.
In the future, these Manchu and Mongolian tribes will basically be digested and completely integrated into the big family of the Chinese nation.
Emperor Zhu is truly a benevolent king.
Yong Lin's face changed slightly. He knew that in the long run, the descendants of the Manchus would not remember that they were Manchus, and would even have to emphasize their identity as Han people.
Because now it’s the Han people who get extra points. Ah, no, it’s an era when the Han people are more valuable.
There will be no bannermen or Manchus in the future.
Today's bannermen may say they are Han against their will for the sake of their future.
But in the future, their descendants will definitely feel that they are Han Chinese.
He Shen sighed in his heart.
fair enough.
Although this method is actually a kind of "genocide".
But at least he didn't use cruel methods to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Liu Yong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are truly benevolent!"
Zhu Daohua squinted at the Shandong old man.
Why does this tone sound so harsh?
He Shen and Yong Lin also hurriedly handed over their hands: "Thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty."
Yes indeed.
Moreover, the emperor's grace is mighty.
Although this generation of Manchu and Mongolian men may be dragged to the battlefield to fight for their lives.
He traveled thousands of miles to fight against such a big empire as Tsarist Russia.
But their descendants can at least truly become subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
Able to take imperial examinations, serve as officials, do business and other rights in the Ming Dynasty.
At least it seems now,
Emperor Zhu is still very trustworthy.
He is basically very polite in everything he does.
Explain the etiquette.
"In that case, we only need to complete one last thing, and the lives of these millions of bannermen can be saved!"
Zhu Daohua's voice became serious.
"Then the bannermen need to personally accuse Qianlong of his crimes!"
The three were shocked when they heard this.
He Shen couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty... I wonder what crime you are talking about?"
Zhu Daohua looked at He Shen and said: "Raising troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty is a crime of war. Robbery and massacre of the people in Jiangxi, Liangjiang, Henan, and Huaibei are crimes against humanity that destroy human relations. According to etiquette, severe punishment is required!" "
"The Eight Banners are an accomplice and if they need to be freed, they will come out to testify against Qianlong's crimes!"
to be honest.
The purpose is to let the Eight Banners serve as "tainted witnesses."
By judging Qianlong in accordance with the Ming rites, the final characterization and conclusion of the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties - everything must be followed in accordance with the procedures.
This is also part of Boss Zhu’s mission to maintain the sanctity of Ming Li.
And the Eight Banners and Qianlong.
They're all just tools.
But it’s not that easy to make good tools.
Neither Heshen nor Yonglin spoke, but lowered their heads and remained silent.
Instead, Liu Yong came out and said: "All the crimes have been attributed to Qianlong, and the resentment of the bannermen has been completely settled. This is your majesty's grace!"
"Where are you two?"
Emperor Zhu looked at He Shen and Lao Qi.
In fact, it’s mainly He Shen.
After all, everyone under Yonglin is Emperor Zhu's, and his opinion is not important.
These conditions were mainly proposed to Yongyan.
If you agree, you can live.
If you don’t agree, then we’ll see you on the battlefield.
He Shen and Liu Yong looked at each other. They were actually given full power - these were the only people in the Qing Dynasty who could speak.
He Shen paid homage, knelt down and said, "Flags of Manchuria, thank you for your grace!"
Zhu Daohua smiled and said: "In that case, then go back and make preparations. I will also send people to organize the public trial of Qianlong and the CCB Yingdu Division first."
And if the last force of the Qing Dynasty in Han Dynasty surrendered in this way.
Then Emperor Zhu can enter Beijing in glory!
